No one should live behind glass or under lights for entertainment. Every individual deserves the chance to live on their own terms, to explore, rest, and simply be.

Together, we can help turn that right into reality for animals.

Every animal deserves to live on their own terms, not behind bars or in performances. When we see them free, we’re reminded of what’s possible for all.

Together, we can help make freedom the norm, and not the exception.

Every trick, every show, every forced “act” of entertainment costs someone their freedom. Animals exploited in circuses, theme parks, and zoos are denied the chance to live on their own terms.

At Freedom for Animals, we believe every bird deserves a life free from harm. That’s why we proudly sponsored the National Pigeon Conference 🕊️

It provides such a warm and welcoming space for animal advocates to join together and celebrate, learn and strategise on how best to protect them!
